SOUTHERN OREGON NEWS REVIEW SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS BROADWAY AND M A IN STREET Afternoon Charm for Matrons Attack of Amnesia Transforms Smart Sew-Simple Date Frock Milquetoast Into Roost Ruler By BILLY ROSE Farm Shop Layout Adds More Space The o th e r day I picked up the telephone to c a ll E leanor, and I t was alm ost h a lf a m in u te before I co uld rem em be r m y n u m b e r at home A t the tim e, th is m em ory lapse d id n ’t seem w o rth b ro o d in g about b u t last n ig h t I happened to m eet up w ith a w e ll-k n o w n p s y c h ia tris t at the S to rk C lub , and o ver a jig g e r o f g in g e r-b e e r I to id h im w h a t had happened. “ It was probably a m ild attack of amnesia, he said. As a rule, the victim s are folks who. consciously or unconsciously, want to escape from their routine chores, and every now and then their minds blank out as a protest against doing the same old things the same old way. “ What kind of pills should I take?" “ Fun p ills,” said the mind-med ico. "B uy yourself a sailboat, take up skeet-shooting. or get a set of water colors and le a r n how to paint.” "And supposing 1 don’t.?” “ Chances a r e nothing w ill hap- pen except that a you'll forget few more phone numbers. On the Billy R ose o th e r hand. there's always the possibility that the spells may get longer and more fiequent. That’s what happened not long ago to a good friend of yours.” • • • JERRY—and I'm sure you know the Jerry I mean—used to be one of Broadway's leading juveniles and stay-up lates. Five years ago, as you know, he put away his hair- oil and got a job producing radio shows. And not long after he m ar ried the daughter of a network executive, bought a home in Scars dale and decided to settle down. "Irie/Z, as often happens when a g irl has too much dowry bis wife did most of the settling for him. She made him exchange hit friends for hers, his fun for hers and his life for hers. And within a year, the man who used to be a gay dog became all dog— a Westchester version of Caspar Milquetoast. "A fte r two years of being yam mered at by his missus, Jerry came in to see me one day and said that he was having trouble w ith his memory—that it was blacking out on him now and then. I asked him some questions about his home life, and when he told me what it was like I advised him to stand up to his wife, and if neces sary, slap her down occasionally. He told me, quite seriously, she wouldn't stand for such a thing. “ One morning several months later, he came to my office, and told me quite a tale. It seems that on his way home the night before he had had an attack of amnesia, and when he came to 15 hours later he was in a New York hotel room, with no idea of what had happened in between. “ I phoned his wife, and from her story, managed to put the pieces together. Jerry's memory had snapped as he got to the door of his house in Scarsdale—perhaps in protest against the stuffy people his wife had invited to dinner— and all he knew was that he was standing on a strange stoop. • • • “ AFRAID TO RING the beU, he sneaked into the back yard, found o T o O n e In S o rro w I ET me come in where you are weeping,friend, And let me take your hand. 1— 1 I,W ho have known a sorrow such as yours, Can understand Let me come in— 1 would be very Still Beside you in yout grief; 1 would not bid you cease your weeping, friend.

What sort of man would clim b through the window of a strange house? Only a burg lar. of course. Ergo, he must be a burglar. And so he tiptoed up stairs, entered his wife s bedroom and began stuffing her jewelry into his pockets. NARROW ESCAPE By Richard H Wilkinson Corner /STUD'S ONLY going to be here a couple of weeks,” Connie said. “ And after all, he’ s my brother Tom’s guest and it’ s up to me to help entertain him . You understand, don't you, Marc? “ Sure,” said Marc, not looking at her, "sure. I understand. You go ahead and be nice to him, Con nie. I understand all rig ht.” Which was true, b itte rly true. Marc had begun to understand two days after Jud M o r r i s o n had Minute landed at t h e Norberts' for a Fiction fortnight’ s visit. Jud was big and handsome and had a way with him. In college he had been quite a rage. Tom Norbert, his roommate, had raved about him before he ar rived, but even Connie hadn’t ex pected such a splendid specimen of manhood as Jud proved to be. A roadster stopped before the house and Jud came bounding up the walk. "H i, Connie,” he grinned. “ A ll set fo r our round of golf?” Then he saw Marc standing on the porch beside Connie. “ Hello there, Marc. How about joining us?” M arc smiled and shook his head. •’Thanks,” he said. “ I ’ve got a ten nis date. See you two tonight.” J If, he reflected, he could only get Jud out of his element perhaps the college h e r o wouldn’t show up so well. Several nights later at the coun try club dance Marc got Connie alone and suggested a fishing trip fo r the next day. "We can take Jud along,” he explained. “ I t 'll be something new in his exper ience and probably he’ll get a bang put of it." Connie, who liked fishing herself thought it was a grand idea, j And so the three of them drove up to Beaver Lake the next day "And, besides, I ’m satisfied with the man I have—a man who’s big enough to be kind to a man like Jud Morrison.” In the afternoon they put on their waders and fished. Connie elected to show Jud how to rig his line and cast, and watch ing them Marc knew a feeling of frustration. He had planned to somehow get Jud to follow him Into th r rapids where the going was treacherous and where only one experienced in such things could navigate without losing his foot- hold. He had a vague idea of res cuing Jud from the sw irling tor rents, thereby establishing Jud's weakness in Connie’ s m ind and his own prowess. O U D D E N LY HE KNEW that he was helpless. There was noth ing he could do about the thing that was happening between Jud and Connie. The feeling that he had toward Jud was not one of condemnation, but envy. I f Jud were tryin g to steal Connie away, ne was doing so unw ittingly. Any one but a fool could tell he wasn’t aware of any understanding exist ing between the g irl and Marc. And so Marc abandoned scheme for revenge. his They returned home the next day, and the day after that Marc made a business trip to Belknap. When he got back, Judson Morrison was gone. Marc didn't call Connie. To morrow or the day after he was leaving on a month’s journey up state. He didn’t want to see Connie before he left. I t would hurt too much.

Connie came over that night and found him sitting alone on the porch. "H ello,” she said, “ where in the world have you been?” “ Away on business. Unexpected .” “ Well, I should think so.” She came close to him and sat down. “ Jud left this morning. He asked me to say goodbye to you.” “ Jud’s a good egg,” Marc said. “ Too good,” said Connie. “ Good ness, I'd hate to be m arried to a man like that.” "You would?” said Marc, aston ished. “ why?” “ Why? why, because—I would. He’s too self-sufficient.” She laughed. "And besides. I ’m satis fied w ith the man I have—a man who's big enough to be Lind to a man like Jud M orrison.” Abruptly he laughed, and when, puzzled, she asked him what was funny, he shook his head. ■'There’s nothing really funny,” he said, " I was just thinking about a close call I once had—how near I came to making a fool of myself —and what a relief it is to know I escaped."
